can't view html document: process no longer exists (pid=15308)

After another long break, I've tried to regenerate a textbook (Kathy's MFG) that contains  PreTexT authored WeBWorK exercises. 

Using the CLI the "build" seems to work (Success! Run `pretext view` to see the results), but when I try to view the book, I get

(I'm running Windows on a Lenovo.) Any suggestions on what I should do differently?

What version of the CLI are you using?

One way you should be able to fix this is to remove the ~/.ptx folder (the folder named .ptx in your home directory).  You could also try running `pretext view -s` and then `pretext view` again.

Thanks, deleting the ~/.ptx folder did the trick.
